Chapter 252 Why is your head so pointy?

“Ahhhhhh~!”

"Were you surrounded by wolves in this place?"

Wolf packs living in different regions have physical characteristics adapted to their habitats, typically differing in fur length, color, and body size.

Currently, the wolves surrounding them by the roadside are identified as forest wolves, with long limbs, fur colors similar to the dark forest environment, and agile movements, capable of moving quickly in complex forest terrain.

"Huh? Fourth Princess, how come you've grown dragon horns?"

He observed the wild wolves he encountered with great interest, and then turned his head by the roadside and saw two beautiful dragon horns, as beautiful as jade, sprouting from the forehead of the Fourth Princess of the East Sea.

The fourth princess snorted coldly as she watched the wolves surround her. The next second, the wolves, urinating and defecating, quickly scattered with their tails between their legs.

"What?" The Fourth Princess glanced indifferently at the roadside.

"The Fourth Princess is truly kind-hearted," someone said by the roadside.

“There are children here.”

I glanced at Zhu Wumei beside the Fourth Princess from the roadside. The little girl seemed reluctant to leave the fleeing wolf pack.

Chenxiang led the way at the head of the procession, holding a bamboo stick in his hand. As he walked, he tapped the vegetation in front of him with the stick. Every few hundred steps, a snake would be startled out, and the types of snakes that were startled out were not the same.

"Huh?"

I looked at the Fourth Princess, who was in the form of a little dragon with dragon horns on her head, from the roadside.

"The wolves were scared away, so why weren't the snakes scared away?" someone asked curiously by the roadside.

“Those with scales belong to our dragon clan. These little snakes weren’t scared away because they sensed my presence and came to pay their respects,” the fourth princess replied.

The spotted tiger lurked in the distance, spying, while the leopard perched in the tree, eager to pounce. But because the Fourth Princess was there, neither dared to approach easily, and they could only watch helplessly.

"Tell me, if you suddenly encounter someone in a place like this, do you think that person is a human or a monster?" someone asked by the roadside.

“One person might be a monster, but a group of people might be human,” the Fourth Princess said.

People only know that hundreds of years ago, the holy monk Tang Xuanzang from the East traveled 108,000 li to the west to retrieve the true scriptures, but they do not know what the eighty-one tribulations he experienced along the way were.

Lu Bian had never told Chenxiang the story of "Journey to the West," so Chenxiang didn't know it, and the Fourth Princess knew very little about it either. So, on this journey, Lu Bian's way of passing the time was to tell the three of them stories about "Journey to the West."

This remote mountain forest happens to be the old site of the Three Battles with the White Bone Demon, White Tiger Ridge. Recounting the events of the past on the same spot creates a very immersive experience.

The White Bone Demon deceived Tang Xuanzang three times, leaving behind three corpses. The entire family of three was first harmed by the White Bone Demon, and then possessed by her to deceive Tang Xuanzang. After the Great Sage completely killed the White Bone Demon, the three corpses remained unattended in the place, where hundreds of years passed in this extremely yin-heavy place, turning them into zombies. The White Bone Demon's chosen dwelling place was naturally a good place for the dead to be preserved.

When a person dies, their soul departs, and the remaining corpse becomes a zombie, which has no relation to the original owner.

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and walking in the valleys is as eerie as nighttime, even during the day.

"Chenxiang, look, there's someone standing in front of us."

“That’s not a human,” the fourth princess said.

As they were talking, the "person" turned around and revealed himself to be a terrifying-looking zombie.

Sensing the presence of a living person, the zombie immediately pounced on Chenxiang.

"What the hell?!"

The girl on the roadside hid behind the fourth princess in fright.

"What are you afraid of?! Even Chenxiang wasn't afraid!" From the tone of the Fourth Princess, it was clear that she was very confused.

"I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm most afraid of zombies. They're my childhood nightmare," Lu Bian nervously explained to the Fourth Princess.

"Hmph! You saw zombies when you were a kid?"

Lightning crackled in Chenxiang's hand, and a single ultimate palm strike blasted the zombie to ashes, a physical act of deliverance, from which it returned to dust.

“These are just ordinary zombies, they don’t have much intelligence,” the Fourth Princess said. “I have a feeling there will be more.”

After walking a mile or two, still in White Tiger Ridge, the group encountered another person standing motionless. "Go."

The fourth princess pushed the roadside.

“Chenxiang slapped that zombie away with one hand. You are Chenxiang’s godfather, and you are more capable than Chenxiang. You should learn to overcome your fears!”

"I go."

He walked past the roadside somewhat nervously, leaving a footprint on the ground with each step.

"Hey!"

A voice called out from behind the "person" standing by the roadside, and the zombie turned around somewhat dazedly.

Wearing perfectly fine clothes and disguising themselves as humans in this old forest, waiting for living people to come and chat with them—if an ordinary person encountered such a situation, it would be quite terrifying.

After carefully confirming that the "person" was a zombie and not a living person, he punched the zombie away.

"Are you still afraid?" the fourth princess asked as she walked over.

“I’m not afraid of zombies anymore, but there are still things I’m afraid of,” the roadside man replied.

"What are you still afraid of?" The Fourth Princess walked past the roadside and continued walking forward, trying to get out of this gloomy place as soon as possible.

"It's a paper figure." He walked quickly forward from the roadside.

"According to our custom as mortals in the East, when someone dies, we need to perform rituals to break the cycle of hell and burn paper offerings."

"Paper figures made of paper are enough to give you the creeps just by looking at them."

“You’re just scaring yourself,” the Fourth Princess said.

After walking another mile, they saw a richly dressed person standing in the woods, and they could faintly hear the sound of Buddhist scriptures being chanted.

"What's going on?" Chen Xiang stopped by the roadside, put away the bamboo stick, and placed his hand on the hilt of the Qingfeng sword.

The chanting of Buddhist prayers stopped, and the richly dressed man turned to face Chenxiang and the others by the roadside.

"It's a living person."

"Huh!?" The man was also somewhat surprised to encounter four people, two adults and two children, in such a place.

"Amitabha, esteemed benefactors, this humble monk greets you."

"Are you a monk?" I walked up to him from the roadside and started talking to him.

"Mm." The other person nodded.

"He doesn't look like one at all; he looks more like a young master from a wealthy family," someone by the roadside remarked.

"To tell you the truth, I was originally the third prince of Baoxiang Kingdom, but my father forbade me to become a monk, so I still maintain this appearance."

As they got closer, they saw a corpse lying at the feet of the third prince of Baoxiang Kingdom, who claimed to be a monk. The corpse was no different from the two zombies they had seen before.

"Were you chanting sutras to help the dead just now?" someone asked from the roadside.

“Amitabha, it is this humble monk.”

The third prince of Baoxiang Kingdom lowered his head towards the roadside.

"He's a capable monk," the fourth princess remarked as she approached the third prince.

"Why would a monk like you, who practices Buddhism with his hair still intact, come to White Tiger Ridge?" the Fourth Princess asked curiously.

"Is such that."

"Going west for 350 li will bring you to my Baoxiang Kingdom. Something happened in my country recently..."
